the problem is what way up is this face? .... You have assumed "an observer at the North pole" ... that's just arbitrary and a convention ...

The correct way to reply to this is to point out this is an invalid question , always an observer has orientation , even the "face on the Earth ."

...or ask "this face on the Earth is the top of his head the N or S pole???"

The rotation of the sun around its own axis is to slow to be seen without earth 'blinking' because of night and day. constant sight to the sun from the north pole wont happen until after the spring equinox. Then it would be possible for earth to see the sun rotate on its polar axis without earth blinking without rotation around the center of sols disk/image.
You can always run round the earth from pole to pole on the edge of the terminator keeping visual sight but this gives rotation to the disk.
If you was to keep an equal distance away from the terminator starting at the equator up to the pole the suns angle of spin would be unchanged. known as the chicken stare.
added drawing on your avatar might help you understand.
Why dont you visualize this in your avatars image? I guess its that kind of thread.
It does not matter which pole is which viewed from or to as there are no sunspots or markers to differentiate solar hemispheres on the gif that can be readily verified.

You irritating oaf. I assumed the face he referred to of earth was exactly what HE meant.

Please don't lecture me on what it should be like. You are the absolute dipstick who claimed there was no difference on the South pole! You have no integrity at all. You were hopelessly wrong and lack the balls to admit It!!

Hello ianw, what is the problem? I couldn't find an answer so asked here! Please explain to me exactly what type of thread you consider this to be?

And Oz....what is the problem? If you have read the thread then you would know exactly that which I was asking?? Wouldn't you! Just this image of a smiley face earth looking at the sun should have been enough of a hint....THE BLUE SMILEY FACE.......which way up do you consider it to be?

and that smiley face was posted about 5-6 times...you couldn't have missed all of them!

I think he gets it but just in case here is another way to look at it.
